Product Description

The Portuguese Polícia de Segurança Pública (Portuguese Police) was founded on July 2, 1867. The Polícia de Segurança Pública is commonly called the Police and has the main task of protecting citizens from all kinds of threats. The police ensures security so that the Portuguese can live freely and without care. This police operate in the major urban areas. Because, in 2017, it was exactly 150 years since the Portuguese Police was founded, a special commemorative 2 Euro coin has been issued. On the coin is a silhouette of some citizens, a man and a woman, there are also a number of houses cryptically depicted to display the country and cities where the Portuguese Police work. On the left side of the coin are the years 1867 and 2017 and the text Seguranca Publica and the abbreviation of the Portuguese Police PSP. At the top of the coin the Coat of Arms of Portugal is shown. On the right hand side of the coin are the words æDireitosÆ (Rights), æLiberdadesÆ (Freedoms) and Garanties (Guarantees), along with Portugal's country name. The coin is beautifully coloured, the womanÆs head is black while the man's is coloured white. This shows the diversity of the Portuguese people. Furthermore, the cryptically displayed houses are depicted very subtly in green, red, yellow and blue. These are typical Portuguese colours.
